Classic Game Room reviews the X-ARCADE TANKSTICK from X-Arcade powered by Xgaming. This massive dual arcade joystick with a trak-ball can be used on PCs with USB inputs and on Sega Dreamcast, PS2 (and PS1), GameCube, PS3 and Xbox 360 with the appropriate adapters. Complex, expensive and difficult to program, the X-arcade Tankstick won't be for those who aren't serious about their gaming with some time, money and patience on their site. Awesome arcade-style gameplay is delivered when all is said and done though. For this review the Xarcade Tankstick was tested with PC games before and after programming, Mame emulators, PS2 and Sega Dreamcast. CGR recommends the Dreamstick from Dream Arcade for Xbox 360 because it is a 360 controller disassembled and built into an arcade stick to prevent lag. The Tankstick works well with PC, Dreamcast and PS2 (all tested for this review using adapters) but don't expect to not do repair work on it. Build quality is questionable given the price but it's nothing a butter knife and a few hours can't fix, which is irritating. The Tankstick can be purchased as a massive controller as shown or bought with an X-Arcade stand up arcade machine. Versatility and style may be the X-Arcade Tankstick's biggest assets, but those really interested in a house-sized joystick may also want to consider a custom job for the same price. In any event, it is impressive and replaces the Dreamcast controller which needs replacing for many games like Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

A brief overview of the X-Arcade Machine Cabinet I have had in my basement for a few months now. (http:shop.xgaming.comcollectionsarcade-machinesproductsx-arcade-machine-cabinet-with-250-arcade-classics) I love the arcade. It's very well put together and comes loaded with 250+ games, including classics such as Galaga, Joust, Dig-Dug, and Dragon's Lair, to name a few.In the future, I plan to install a newer version of MAME and add some additional ROMs. I likely will also add a custom marquee and some side art.Let me know if you have any questions about the arcade. I'm a big fan.

Happ Competition Joystick review with X-Arcade Tankstick. Classic Game Room reviews the HAPP COMPETITION JOYSTICK and shows installation into a X-Arcade Tank Stick. The Happ Competition Joystick will fit into the X-Arcade Tankstick with a slight bit of modification. This Modded X-Arcade Tankstick now has a red Happ Competition Joystick for superior controls in fighting games like Street Fighter IV and space ship shooters like Thunder Force V and Gigawing. The X-Arcade Tankstick is a wonderful piece of design and engineering but has some weak links to cut costs. The joysticks in the X-arcade are lesser quality joysticks than the price tag would indicate, but with $15 and some elbow grease you can replace one joystick with a Happ. This CGR video review of the Happ Competition Joystick shows how to mod and install a Happ joystick in an X-Arcade Tank Stick and reviews the resulting modded joystick controller.

X-Arcade PS3 Xbox adapter review. Classic Game Room reviews the X-ARCADE Playstation 3 & Xbox adapter that allow the X-Arcade Tankstick to work with the PS3 and original Xbox. The X-Arcade makes for an awesome fighting stick arcade style joystick (once you replace the joystick with a Happ of course) and can be used for such awesome PS3 videogames as Super Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6 and Blazblue. This X Arcade accessory allows the massive Xarcade Tank Stick to work on the original old school Xbox and Playstation 3. The adapter is well engineered and works like a champ without noticeable lag (at least I think so), it can be configured to act as the analog thumbstick, D-pad or dual stick twin stick shooter controls.

Classic Game Room reviews the PELICAN ACCESSORIES Playstation 1 and 2 Joystick for use with PS2 and PS1 fighting games and other videogames where an "arcade style" joystick is preferred. This cheap, palstic fighting stick for the PS2 and PS1 can be used to play Playstation fighters like Tekken 2 and 3 or Virtua Fighter 4 (among many others). It has the standard Playstation buttons and L1, R1, L2 and R2. A joystick with arcade style ball top is acceptable, as long as you don't pay much for this odd-looking controller. Rubber pads with "nubbins" seem to be the standout feature on the Pelican Accessories PS2 fighting joystick. This CGR video review of Playstation 2 and PS1 hardware reviews a Pelican Accessories fighting style arcade joystick for PS2.

Classic Game Room HD reviews the MAD CATZ Xbox 360 arcade joystick. This jack-of-all-trades joystick controller is meant to appeal to those who want arcade style action and performance with modern next gen functionality. This review of the Mad Catz controller shows where Mad Catz went right, and where they went dreadfully wrong. It is a USB controller which is good for keeping costs down, but not a terribly arcade style retro controller by any means. If you are downloading arcade classic video games from XBLA Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360 like Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Xevious or Streets of Rage 2 is this the joystick controller that you should buy? Did MadCatz make the best controller for action gameplay or did MadCatz make merely an acceptable controller for you to spend money on? Watch this and other Xbox 360 and PS3 accessory reviews here on Classic Game Room! Even thought this is a review of a USB controller it won't work with the PS3 or Wii game consoles, or PC. Strictly a USB controller for the Xbox 360 video game console.

We decided to replace it with a real coin door with coin mechs from X-Arcade. This video shows how we did it.The wiring was connected to the USB Encoder used by the JoysticksButtons. The coin door works just like any other buttonjoystick.
